Every Song 36
Welcome, you are listening to Every Song. A series where I play songs I’ve written throughout the years and share the stories behind them.
This first song is one I wrote about the feeling of guilt when you end it with someone, even though you know it was the right thing to do. It’s actually about the same person that the first song in episode 10 was about, Patch Up a Friendship. It’s called Always.
081101 Always
You’re always so reliableAlways so indispensableBut I lost you, yes I didYou’re always right behind meEvery step I take you followBut I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that
I took your love for grantedAll I wanted was to show youThat I liked you, I admit itBut thanks for letting me know
That you’ll always be hereAnd you’re always here to helpAnd you always will careBut I’m not sorry that I ever let you goSo much time on my handsBut not enough of plansI’m not sorry that I ever let you goAlways
You’re always unpredictableAlways so indescribableBut I like you, yes I doYou’re always gonna be the guyI fell for once upon a timeBut I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that
It’s such a shame for us to end this wayBut now I can say I’ll never be the sameWhen all I ever wanted was for you to take it easy with meI never meant for us to partBut loving you was just too damn hardAnd if a heart calls for breakingThen broken it shall beBut if you’re there for the takingThen I’ll just set you free becauseI don’t wanna put you through the agonyOf having to be with meAnd I’m sorry that I took your love for grantedWhen all you ever wanted to showWas that
Always was written on the 1st of November 2008.
The next and last one for today is a POV song I wrote when I was 13. I say POV because you’ll hear in the lyrics it is obviously about expecting a child and I was not a 13-year-old mother. I got inspiration for this song from a temp social studies teacher we had at school - very beautiful, lovely, tall, pregnant woman. I have unfortunately forgotten her name and I no longer have any of my school year books, so I can’t even look her name up. But I remember she always wore a silver fish bone necklace. And if I remember correctly, she may have been blonde or light brunette, maybe. She used to talk to us about how excited she was to have her baby and her man whenever she would see us walking around at lunchtime and after class. It was really cute and I got really inspired by all that.
Anyway, this song is called Let’s Chase Time. I wrote it on the 16th of July 2005.
050726 Let’s Chase Time
Life is coming throughI’ll be spending time with you foreverLet’s chase time once againIt’s everything you do that makes me wonder
You are my songMy musicYou own my soulDon’t lose itI’m trying and it’s hardBut you’re everything I have
Time is running outAnd we’ll be exposed to thoseLittle eyes soonThey’ll be looking upSo we’ve got to act the best we could
You’re everything I haveIt’s all up in my mindWe’ve untied all those things that were up in knotsLet’s chase time once againCause I’m feeling unfairI’m feeling uneasy
Thank you for listening to episode 36 of Every Song. Until next time.
